+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"I dearly love the mountains and like to think of them as God's
cathedrals. When men build a modest chapel under the shelter of soaring
peaks, the setting takes on a sacred serenity.
Winter Chapel portrays just such a scene. The residents of a mountain hamlet
go about their business; walking the dog, going to market, pausing perhaps a
minute more to admire the sunset that touches their mountain chapel and their
humble homes with glory.
We, who are not for the moment caught up in the business of living, can give
the scene the attention it deserves. Towering clouds appear to be rent by
God's hand; a heavenly light pours through the gaps, falling on the
snow-capped mountains and on the soaring church steeple. The contrast between
light and shadow is stark and thrilling; this is surely one of the most
awesome sunsets that I have ever captured on canvas."
